Interview

His name rang through her head, Joey, what a sexy name to possess. She couldn't quite get over how good looking he really was, like seriously how do these people exist?

After sitting back down in his chair, he offered for her to sit opposite him, to be honest she had never felt so nervous in someone's presence before, usually she was the one making people feel nervous; but that was because they expected to get a sarcastic comment sent their way. She couldn't help but notice this look he was giving her, it was between flirtatious and amused it was rather unsettling.

"So Lauren, can I have a look at your portfolio" his hand outstretched towards the large folder tightly in her grasp. Once more she became a little speechless just hearing his voice as she leant over the desk not realising the lovely view she had given Joey of her cleavage. Clearly his throat delicately as to move his thoughts swiftly away from her breast he began flicking through the folder. His eyes taking in the outstanding work she had put together, each piece different from the other. The amount of time and effort that had been put into each one was clear as day.

"These are amazing" he smiled at her, seeing her body relax from the tense position it had been in.

"Oh thank you" Lauren replied quietly, she knew her art was good, but hearing it from a stranger especially one that looked as HOT as he did made It a whole lot better.

"So what could you bring to my company?" he quizzed, resting his arms on the desk, only to further expose his ridiculous arms. He raised his eyebrow a little as he watched her process this question.

"I'm not sure if I'm honest" she laughed nervously, she wasn't about to blag a load of bull, Lauren had only ever been herself now wasn't the time to act like someone she wasn't. "I talk a lot, when I'm not nervous but when I am I babble like now, I guess I have a vision, I put that through my art work so if you gave me your vision I could put it down on paper for you" she smiled it was a honest answer a representation of who she was.

"I've never had someone answer so honestly" he commented, leaning back into his chair, taking in the beauty that sat before him. Joey had plenty of women walk through his office doors shower him with everything he expected to hear, yet this girl in front of him had been completely honest with him, it was a breath of fresh air; not to mention she was breathtakingly gorgeous she had caught his attention for the first glance.

"What you see is what you get" she replied, the braver Lauren Branning shining through now she felt more comfortable, especially as he was pleased she had been honest.

"I don't doubt that" he smirked, his eyes darkening a little as he allowed himself to trail his eyes down her again, it was almost like he couldn't stop an involuntary act. Lauren blushed a little seeing the way he was looking at her.

"So how long have you been up and running?" she questioned, now the one to take him off guard, she was genuinely interested in his company, yet showed little signs of interest in him another thing which caught him off guard as he was used to women throwing themselves at him from the word go.

"2 years, it's been whirlwind" he smiled admiring his hard work to get to where he is. "Hard work pays off".

"Clearly, this place is seriously impressive" she commented, letting her eyes look around his office although it was drawn back to him more than she would like to admit.

"Good to know you like it seen as you will be working here" he smirked, watching as her petite face scrunched up cutely with confusion. "Wait are you offering me the job?" his mouth popping open a little with shock.

"Yup, welcome to the team Lauren, I think you will be perfect for this place" standing up from his black chair he once more extended his hand out towards her. Lauren grabbing it rather eagerly as she shook it rather excited that she had actually achieved something. "Your not screwing with me are you?" she asked, letting the words slip from her mouth before realising they had already gone. "Shit sorry" she gasped, holding her hand to her mouth, now having sworn twice in front of her new boss. Although he seemed rather amused as he shook his head chuckling, "Don't sweat it babe" the word 'babe' rolling easily off of his tongue as if he had known he forever. No guy had ever called her babe, it had never sounded so sexy until now, giving her a little bit of empowerment.

Lauren pulled her hand away reluctantly, letting it drop to her side as she picked up her folder and bag, needing to escape these ridiculous ideas she had floating around her head about her new boss. Smiling weakly she turn away, though she could feel his burning gaze resting on her behind, she felt the need to turn around a double check but she just couldn't do it, he made her so nervous.

"See you Monday Miss Branning" her last name rolling smoothly from his tongue, why did everything he said sound so sexual, she couldn't felt but feel aroused by every little thing he said.

He's your boss girl, get a grip was all she could think to steady herself.

This was going to be challenging, little did Lauren know, Joey LOVED a challenge.
